Glasgow has a dazzling array of architecture and is internationally renowned for its history of architectural innovation, design excellence and unique brand of urban glamour, sometimes gritty, sometimes purely urbane. A wealth of historical and contemporary, social and artistic context wrapped up in the city's interiors, which Glasgow Interiors: A Secret History will showcase for the very first time. The story begins with an introductory foreword contextualising Glasgow's historic environment, written by a notable figure with a connection to Glasgow's architectural heritage. Featured interiors are ordered stylistically: Georgian, Edwardian, Victorian, Art Nouveau/Glasgow Style, Art Deco, Post-war. The interiors will vary widely, from a dramatic Victorian swimming bath complex complete with original trapeze and an exotic tiled sauna to glittering art deco restaurants and bars referencing the city's nautical heritage. This is not another book about Charles Rennie Mackintosh; for the first time, the city's magnificent, diverse, world-class and thus far 'secret' interiors will be presented.
